What we did

• Flute
  • Working on establishing good sound and fingerings on Bb, C, and D
    • Using lines 1, 2, 3 and 7 as material
      • Playing whole note tones on the pitches written.

• Brass
  • Nothing achieved or assessed due to no instrument brought
  • Little progress from last week. I am unsure how to help him if he will not work at home

• Alto Saxophones
  • Assessed performance targets for Line 25
  • Move forward to line 28 (complete the composition), line 30 and 31 to establish the E; line 34 to utilize E and 2/4 time
  • 
    

• Percussion - (No instrument today)
  • Continue with Haskell-Harr lesson 7 which contain 8th note rhythms
  • Began reading music that has Snare Drum and Bass Drum parts
    • Tyra is counting real well; I did not assess her grip and stroke today
    • Paige needs to be guided to establish a better grip and bounce stroke.
      • Count and clap the rhythms so that they are more solid before playing.

What to do

• Percussion need to achieve mastery of performance targets on lines 16 and 17 on mallets and Haskell-Harr lesson 7
